Guest: Rikki Horne, PharmD, FSVHP and Megan Flanigan, PharmD, FSVHP

Summary: In this episode, Fady and Kristen interview Dr. Rikki Horne and Dr. Megan Flanigan from the Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center. Drs. Horne and Flanigan are both veterinary pharmacists working side by side with veterinarians taking care of various species of animals. They each talk about their different journeys on their way to becoming veterinary pharmacists. They talked about how the role of veterinary pharmacists have changed over the years and how veterinary pharmacists do much more than verify prescriptions. We also talked about what it takes to be a veterinary pharmacist and who would do well as a veterinary pharmacist. It was a lot of fun learning about how dosing for animal medication differs from human medication and how you have to be able to be creative and think outside the box as a veterinary pharmacist!
